This is a killer car with serious standard features. The interior is top flight and it drives and handles beautifully. The catch is: it's made in Wolfsburg! It is not a south of the border piece of donkey dung like the Beetle and other Golfs. I was really impressed with the Tiptronic as it really seemed to shift gears quickly with matched rpms both up and down. With the 16" alloy package and 5-speed manual the price is $15,450. Just $500 more than an xB but with maturity, elegance, features galore, and that volumous hatch.
Downside: thirsty 5 cyclinder yields just 22/30.

Ex nihilo, nihil fit . . .

Shame the dealer network sucks and they barely get an average reliability rating on Consumers �eports.

I just bought a Rabbit, stick shift, 2 door - what a car. Switched from a 2005 Dodge RAM, what a change - pure Fahrvergnuegen. I'm 6'5", and I feel little in that car. Handling is great, fast, I get 25.7 MPG on my 80% HWY / 20% City commute, going 75 on the HWY, and some fast sprints in between.
I'm not sure why it is sold as a small car, it is above the other small cars sold for the same money.
Highly recommended!
Cheers, Tommy
